Notes
For a healthier option, substitute whole wheat flour or almond flour for all-purpose flour. Greek yogurt can replace mayonnaise in the Bang Bang Sauce for a lighter version. Add sesame seeds or chopped scallions for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes to regain crispiness.
